News for MembersCompiled by the District Executives

GOVERNORfrom the desk of

The new school years calls for new decisions. What clubs will you join? Will Key Club be one of them? I hope that it is a yes. Make this Key Club year a different one. If there is something you did not like, speak up about it. You have the power to say something. Over the few months I have come across Key Clubbers who wished their club was more active. Quit wishing and quit dreaming and do something. Start the year with a bang. How do you do it if your board is habitually lazy? You go out there and do it and say something and represent. You have the power. There are others who wish for an active club. You are not alone. It is a mutual feeling between many but never said by any. What is it you would like to change? The quote may be trite, but be the change that you want to see. I am not instructing you to overthrow the system. I am encouraging you to fight for an organization that you love. Key Club needs dedicated members like yourself.

S E C R E T A R Y messageHi CNH Bees! I hope everyone is enjoying his or her summer and the wonderful weather outside. Now that you have a break from school, you can spend more time socializing with your fellow Key Clubbers, making new friends from your club and division, and participating in more service projects in your community. If you have some free time, ask your respective Lieutenant Governor or Club President when your sponsoring Kiwanis club’s meeting is and try to attend it as much as possible! Not only do you benefit by meeting Kiwanians, but you also create a better relationship between the Kiwanis Club and the Key Club that it sponsors. What does this mean to you? It means that Kiwanians like to know what their sponsored Key Clubs are up to. Get to know your Kiwanis club and work on strengthening your Kiwanis Family relationship. It will be very helpful when you need chaperones for special Key Club events, such as Fall Rally, Region Training Conference, Rose Float Decorating, and District Convention, and it is fun to be connected with your fellow Kiwanis Family counterparts! Have a great summer, CNH bees, and go out in your community and perform service!

TECH EDITOR post

Hey Key Clubbers! School is finally almost here! All those long days of just being bored out of our minds at home will be wiped away with the enjoyment to go back to school for another 180 days! Even if many of you, like I, do not take pleasure in school one bit, it’s because of school that we found out about the wonderful organization known as Key Club International. So, enjoy the summer while you can, and make the best out of every moment of your life!

TREASURER bulletin boardHello CNH BEEs!I hope you are enjoying summer like I am! Summer heat in our district is nowhere comparable to summer heat in Tennessee! We should be thankful for our weather compared to Tennessee’s very hot and very humid weather! Those of you who attended ICON know exactly what I am saying. With a new school year comes a new Key Club term. A new Key Club term comes the annual membership payment! Key Clubbers, please make sure you pay your dues ON TIME. Also, try your best to recruit your friends and those incoming freshmen. Show them all the leadership and service opportunities that are available. Lastly, make sure you start saving your money for Fall Rally and DCON! Those are the two events you surely can’t miss during your Key Club career!Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Kiwanis Family & Foundation committeeSummer is BUZZing away!Dear officers and members,Summer is slowly ending for certain schools, so please make sure that you have at least had 1 Kiwanis Family get-together. However, if you still have not, it is not too late! There are almost 4-5 weeks left until school resumes. So, make sure to get a hold of your regional advisor and an Event Request Form to make a

Kiwanis Family Picnic/Special Event possible. BEE Active!Regional Training Conference AND Officer Training Conference!This is a great time to receive resources about your position in the Kiwanis Family whether an officer or a member. This way you can lead your clubs successfully and build better relations with the Kiwanis Family for support. The slideshow on KFF has been updated and will be posted on the Cyberkey shortly. Also, our committee has put together literature and promotional materials on Kiwanis Family and Foundation. If you would like to have a copy, it will be posted on the Cyberkey as well!

Service ProjectPlan a Bike Trail Clean Up/ Park Clean Up with your Kiwanians or even a K-Kids or Builder’s Club. You can even start planning now for the future. Holidays are coming up and they are a great time to serve your community.

Kiwanis DCMScenario: You have a service project at a local homeless shelter and they require an advisor. Who do you ask? Answer: Your faculty/Kiwanis Advisor will be more than glad to help you. Also, if you would like to familiarize yourself with your Kiwanis Club, make sure to attend a Kiwanis Meeting in the upcoming months before school resumes. Please feel free to contact the Kiwanis Family & Foundation. As a committee, our main obligation is to support the members in their relationship with their Kiwanis Family. Lorita [email protected]

District Projects committee16 years ago, Kiwanis partnered with UNICEF in the hope of eliminating Iodine Deficiency Disorders. After raising almost $100 million in order to combat this disorder, Kiwanis International has initiated its second Worldwide Service Project, Project Eliminate. Working together, Kiwanis International and UNICEF share the goal of eliminating Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus by 2015. Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) is a disease that kills an estimated 60,000 newborns and 30,000 mothers each year. Every 9 minutes a baby dies from MNT. MNT has such high mortality rates simply because of the lack of appropriate medical care and sanitation. Mothers and their newborns are at risk of contracting this life-threatening infectious disease during delivery. Although MNT is easily prevented through proper hygienic delivery and cord care practices, as well as tetanus vaccines, many woman in developing nations are unable to obtain the adequate prevention and support that they need.

While UNICEF and partners have already eliminated the disease in 18 countries, there are still 40 countries mostly located in Africa, and Southern and East Asia where MNT still runs rampant. Over 129 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized, equating to 387 million doses of vaccine. Project Eliminate needs vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and many other resources. UNICEF and Kiwanis plan to raise $110 million in order to eliminate MNT in the next 5 years. This project will deliver life-saving vaccines to the most vulnerable women and children in the world: those in remote and difficult to reach areas, conflict zones, and with little access to no access to health care.

On another note, the District Projects Committee is working hard to increase the TOTAL amount of service in the District. One way that we hope to do so is by finding potential service events throughout the District. While searching for these events, we also have a focus on finding service events that pertain to Project Shine. We will be trying to find roughly 3 events in each region of CNH.

We are currently working on creating a matrix/calendar on the CNH Cyberkey for Key Clubbers to view and use. We hope to have events researched 2-3 months in advance so that Key Clubbers will have plenty of time to contact the organizations and plan the event. Please remember that ERFs (Event Request Forms) are required to be filled out 3 weeks in advance if the event is an inter-club event!

Even if your club cannot attend these events, we hope that they can be an example of the different ways that CNH Key Clubbers can serve their communities!

Suggestion BoxIs there something you would like to see at DCON that was not present at previous conventions? Do you want to see something changed about DCON? Or do you have an idea that could possibly spark up the convention? Member input is very important to the DCON committee, so please don’t hesitate to contact us!Ben [email protected]

Giving Back to the CommunityHow to find community service?Greetings officers and members! It’s summer - that means full blast and time for community service! Finding service and organizations that need your assistance in your community can be either easy or hard - it’s all about the effort!How?Research local service websites in your area; the more unique the activity, the more members will be drawn to serve! Sometimes repetition discourages interest - give it a little variety! Every time you walk down the street and look into the store, grab flyers for different events coming up - whether it be a local charity, community walk, or a local heritage festival! Opportunities are bound to rise on every corner - literally!If you are the adventurist and like to take on a challenge, organize your own service events! Contact local organizations, dealing with the environment, community shelters, hospitals, etc. - anything within your reach! Work with these organizations, set out a plan, and EXECUTE! Take initiative and plan your own service events.

Fundraising for CharitiesStart Early!Summer is all about taking hold of opportunities - most importantly TIME! Plan either club, divisional, or even regional fundraisers over the summer! Fundraisers are a great way to bond and interact with other members from your club, division, or maybe even region! Designate a charity for which the funds will go towards to - whether it be the Pediatric Trauma Program/Prevention (PTP) or even a local hospital or community organization of your own! After deciding on a charity, plan a fundraiser - a bake sale, a car wash, selling merchandise, anything! Recruit volunteers, organize, keep records, but most of all have fun!Generic ideas need to be put to use! Spend the last month of summer with service and charity!Throughout the year, if you should have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to contact us! As a committee, we are here to support YOU as members of our great Cal-Nev-Ha District!

Policies, International, Elections committeeHello CNH Bees! It is essential that each club in our district pay their dues. Dues are annual, required fees paid by every member of Key Club to join Key Club International. Dues cost $11 total ($4.50 goes to district; $6.50 goes to international), which pay for service-leadership training at District Convention, Regional & Officers Training Conferences, Youth Opportunities Fund Grants for service projects for Key Clubbers, and scholarships. There are many benefits provided to Key Clubs for paying their dues, which include the opportunities to attend service-leadership training conferences, Fall Rally North (at California’s Great America) & South (at Six Flags Magic Mountain), and attend our annual District Convention. To learn more about dues, please click here (or visit http://keyclub.org/TopNav/dar/dmmuc.aspx). To pay your dues & update your membership roster, please click here (or visit http://soapmu.kiwanis.org/default.cfm?action=logon). The regular deadline is December 1st. Clubs which have not paid by the suspension deadline (February 1) are suspended. Clubs’ charters are revoked if they do not pay their dues by September 1st and are no longer considered Key Clubs. Please remember to pay your dues on time!

PoliciesCurrently, the Policies, International, & Elections Committee is working on making recommendations to the California-Nevada-Hawaii District Board that will refine our district’s bylaws to make them more consistent with our goals as an international service organization. This includes fixing typos/outdated terms & finding new, better ways to help our organization thrive by incorporating them into our California-Nevada-Hawaii District Bylaws. If these proposed changes to our district bylaws are approved by a majority of district board, they will then go to the House of Delegates at District Convention where delegates from each Key Club will vote in favor or against them. Proposed bylaw changes require a 2/3rds vote of the House of Delegates to be enacted. Please see Article XIV of our CNH District Bylaws for this rule.In addition, Policies Subcommittee would like to remind everybody that each Key Club Member is required to have a minimum of 50 hours of service annually, according to Article VIII, Section 2 of the Key Club International Bylaws to ensure Key Clubbers are building using this time to build their home, schools, and communities.

International Our Key Club International Convention July 7-11 had a successful outcome! Our current Major Emphasis Project (MEP) Service Initiative “Live 2 Learn” has been extended indefinitely for the 2010-11 year. MEP is our Key Club International Project for all clubs with in our organization. The next MEP will be based off of the new Kiwanis International Service Initiative: ELIMINATE, focused on eliminating Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), which kills 60,000 innocent babies and 30,000 mothers each year. To find out about our current service initiative, click here (or visit http://keyclub.org/service/hos/si.aspx).

ONLINE MONTHLY RECOGNITION ON THE CNH CYBERKEYNOTE: The Online Monthly Recognition Program is not an official contest or award. Its goal is to recognize clubs for excellence in service and fundraising through visual recognition on the CNH CyberKey.

As introduced in the July issue of the CNH District Newsletter, a new online monthly recognition program has been created. This program recognizes one club from each division for going above and beyond in service and fundraising. Each month, a list of the clubs with the most service hours per member, with the most funds raised overall, and with the most funds raised per member for each division will be posted on the CNH CyberKey under the ‘Recognition’ tab. In addition to this, the club with the most service hours per member, the club with the most funds raised overall, and the clubs with the most funds raised per member for the entire district will be recognized on the home page of the CNH CyberKey. Please note that ALL clubs are eligible for recognition on the CyberKey. However, monthly winners are determined based on data extracted from Monthly Report Forms (MRFs) sent to the District Secretary. This means that clubs will NOT be recognized if they do not send their MRFs on time to their Lieutenant Governor OR if their Lieutenant Governor does not send his or her MRF on time to the District Secretary. If you want your club to be recognized for its hard work, make sure that your secretary submits all due paperwork on time.

5 TIPS on BEECOMING a DISTINGUISHED officerNOTE: There is NO longer a Bulletin Editor award. Instead, clubs may apply for the Club Bulletin award.

TIP#ONE: PLAN AHEADRemember that the contest deadline is March 4, 2010. Although applying for distinguished officer is a truly rewarding process, it does take a considerable amount of time. Take into consideration that you will need recommendation letters and that it is never too early to ask others to write them.TIP#TWO: STAY ORGANIZEDIn order to become a distinguished officer, you will need to submit an e-portfolio with supporting documentation. Throughout the current district administrative year, you should save all of your work on a single folder on your desktop or on a USB. You should also create sub-folders to organize all of your work so that when you are ready to apply for distinguished officer, your e-portfolio can be as organized and insightful as possible. TIP#THREE: KNOW THE AWARDSAs a reminder, distinguished officer applications are composed of an e-portfolio. The e-portfolio must be a single pdf that may not exceed 10MB or 50 pages of supporting documentation*. The e-portfolio must include a cover page, a nomination form, letters of recommendation, the Outstanding Officer Checklist, and other supporting documentation unique to the officer contest you are applying for. To become an outstanding officer, only the Outstanding Officer Checklist needs to be completed.*The nomination form and the letters of recommendation do not qualify as supporting documentationTIP#FOUR: BEE THOROUGHIn evaluating distinguished officer applications, one KEY component is the thoroughness of the application. A good application lists the applicant’s contributions to his or her club and division. A great application, however, covers the applicant’s contributions in great thoroughness, as well as his or her creativity in overcoming problems, leadership skills, exemplifying of the Key Club values, and commitment to his or her club. On a similar note, a thorough application is a complete application without any missing forms or documentation. An incomplete application will be penalized. There are no exceptions.TIP#FIVE: DO THE WORKOfficers do not becoming distinguished simply by applying. A distinguished officer is one who is hardworking, helpful, respectful, and who never ceases to take the initiative. In order to become distinguished, you will need to go above and beyond throughout your term. But do not worry! The guidelines for each officer award go over what requirements and items are necessary for distinguished status. For all awards, you must have attended a majority of regular club and board meetings, at least six Key Club Divisional Council Meetings (DCMs), at least one Kiwanis DCM or three Kiwanis meetings, OTC or RTC, as well as your respective officer workshop at District Convention, International Convention, OTC, or RTC. In addition to these requirements, each officer contest has additional requirements unique to it.

Hello Cali-Nev-Ha District!

Although school has yet to start (for most of us), a third of the district administrative year has already elapsed! With the busy months of the school year just ahead of us, now is the time to relax and enjoy the last days of respite before the cycle begins once again. Now is also the perfect time to start thinking of ways you and your club can get recognized at District Convention 2011 as well as throughout the year. Though applying for an award is not extremely time-consuming of a process, the work and accomplishments that support one’s application are often extraordinary. These accomplishments cannot be attained overnight. To ensure that you, your club, and division are duly recognized throughout the year, it is important that you start preparing for the upcoming year, ahead of time, and take the time to set goals for you and your club.

LTGnewFellow Key Club Members,

I attended my very first Key Club meeting in the first weeks of my freshman year, and as the year progressed, I became more and more involved with the club. I enjoyed my experiences participating in the various service and fundraiser projects the club held during that year. For my sophomore year, I was appointed as the club’s Vice President, and my experiences in that position helped me to build a higher level of leadership and organizational skills than I had ever had before. At the end of that year, I took over as the club’s president for my junior year. I started the year with nearly no members at all, and at beginning of the second semester, a whole new team of committed officers had been appointed, and we began the restoration of our club. I had met my goal for the year of preserving Key Club as a long lasting opportunity for students at Carson High. Now as my senior year approaches, I offered to fill the previously empty position of Lieutenant Governor for our division. I am looking forward to an exciting year for our small section of one of the largest high school organizations in the world. It will be my intention as your new Lieutenant Governor to achieve communication and interaction between the clubs in our division, as well as helping each club to complete the Monthly Report Forms.

Now that you know my Key Club origins, its time I tell you about my other activities and interests. I spend a majority of my free time on the Golf course, and I am the team captain for the Varsity Golf team at my school. Golf has been my passion since elementary school, and I have been playing competitively for six years. I also find fascination in working with computers, and I ever since I bought my own laptop, I have taught myself about many of the computer’s advanced functions. I also work in the computers department at my local Best Buy store.

Remember that I am here to help your club succeed this year; feel free to contact me any time with the information at the top of this letter.

Yours in Service,Garrett GingellLieutenant GovernorDivision 45 California - Nevada - Hawaii Key Club DistrictKey Club International

in your club rosters to LTG David as soon as possible! There are still clubs that have not sent in any new officer information. Keep in mind that all club rosters that were sent in after June 10th, 2010 will not be included in the District Directory that will be compiled by our District Secretary. Rosters that are sent in will be used to update the Divisional Directory.

News for OfficersCompiled by the District Executives

Officers, come to school with spirit, enthusiasm, and determination along with your pencils, erasers, and pens. When the bells ring, make it known that Key Club is the best organization on campus. Do not be afraid to begin with a BANG even it calls for hardcore publicizing and radical spirit gear. If you are slightly afraid to begin on such a note, use club rush as the best time to bring the spirited key clubber in you out.There are things that attract students to clubs. The first is presentation. Go all out in the presentation. If you have not created a poster board, make one; the effort that you put into one right now can be recycled for the next year. A pretty looking poster board will draw in students. The second is openness. No one appreciates mean and unpleasant presenters. If you are not the most charismatic person, have people at your table who are. You will be there to watch over everything and the charismatic can do the socializing to attract potential members. Lastly, the key to attracting members is not to push them. Do not intimidate them into joining or say things such as, “You’re not getting into college.” With these simple rules to keep in mind, you are set to begin with a BANG. Do not be afraid. Do not stop dead in your tracks because your friends are embarrassed. There will be those people who wish to be as spirited as you. There will be people who support you- like me!

SECRETARIESHI CNH Secretaries!

Can you believe that you have already completed your first quarter of your term? Remember that Key Club doesn’t stop during the summer; it is a year-round commitment. As school begins to approach, you should start thinking about strategies to recruit new members. Was there a decrease or increase in membership last year? Why do members stay in your club and why do some, unfortunately, become inactive? Work with your fellow club officers to plan out membership goals for the upcoming school year and different ways to retain current members and gain new members! As you start thinking about recruitment and your members, you should also begin updating your club directory.

Club DirectoryCreating a club directory is one of your duties this year as secretary. In the MRF this year, there is already a directory spreadsheet available to you as a resource. Utilize it to keep your members’ contact information organized as well as help keep track of membership dues with your club’s treasurer.

The best way to obtain updated or new contact information from your current and potential members is to create a contact sheet for them to complete and submit to you. Here is an example:

The Club Directory that is provided for you is in your MRF on the third tab labeled “Club Roster/Directory”. It contains basic information that your club should have for each of its members in order to stay in contact throughout the year. In order to make the directory process a little easier, obtain the club directory from last year and transfer your club’s current member’s information now, so that when the school year begins all you have to do is update current information and input new members. Also, remember that seniors who have graduated this year are not part of your club anymore, so don’t forget to take them out! Once your directory is completed, share it with your club officers, members, Faculty Advisor, and Kiwanis Advisor!

treasurersHello CNH Treasurers!

It surely is HOT! Are you taking the heat to service? Remember, 50 hours are recommended to be completed by every Key Club member. As club officers, set the example and serve.

The school year is about to start, so I hope you are ready to gather those membership dues! Work with your club secretary to record and keep track of the membership dues. Be careful with how you handle the money because it is YOUR responsibility. Please remember to pay for your own membership for you can only be an officer if you have a member of Key Club!

Make sure you join the CNH Treasurers Reflector <http://groups.google.com/group/cnh-kc-treasurers> I am finishing up the Treasurer’s Manual, so I will be sending that out onto the reflector. An updated Step-by-Step Dues Process is also in the making. Again, make sure you join the reflector. Check out the CyberKey <http://cnhkeyclub.org> for an updated file of Club Dues.

Stay cool CNH!

Hue TranDistrict Treasurer

EDITORSHey editors! Month passes by so quickly doesn’t it? I sure feel like it does! In a couple more days, I’m going back to school! This might be different to others, but it’s still just a couple more weeks and then BAM! School starts and sleep times become normal and days just press on.

I thank you all for submitting your newsletters and articles even during the summer. It really shows how dedicated you Key Clubbers are to this fantastic organization. Continue to spread your love for Key Club.

To my public relations officers, here are some tips! To grab new members, do things that are completely out of the ordinary. One day, I wore the UNICEF box all around school without shoes. I promoted Key Club, UNICEF, and One Day without Shoes all at the same time. If you do something completely out of the ordinary, people will come up and ask you, “What are you doing?” Then you could bluntly reply, “Oh, It’s a Key Club thing.” This got many people interested and eager about what Key Club is all about. It’s all up to you. Just don’t give up!

Please join the CNH Editors reflector at http://bit.ly/cnhkceditors and have an amazing summer! :)

Major Emphasis ProgramCompiled by the Policies, International, and Elections Committee Chair

Major Emphasis Program (MEP) was created in 1946, when Key Club International built a program to bring together all Key Clubs and members around the globe to focus on making an international impact to help children. The resulting MEP to help serve children was named “Children: Their Future, Our Focus.” Our current MEP consists of 2 parts: 1) Our International Service Partners, 2) Our International Service Initiative Live 2 Learn. Key Club International has worked with partner organizations UNICEF, March of Dimes, and Children’s Miracle Network to fulfill our international service objectives.

UNICEF is the only United Nations organization dedicated to assisting children’s health-care, basic education, and safe water and sanitation needs in 150 developing countries. Key Club helps UNICEF serve our world’s impoverished youth by Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF (collecting money for UNICEF in little boxes in October near Halloween). Since this program started in 1950, Key Clubbers have raised almost $5 million for iodine deficiency programs worldwide, HIV and Aids programs in Kenya and Swaziland, and most recently: Operation Uruguay: Protecting the Rights of Children. Key Club set the goal of raising $1.5 million through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF for Operation Uruguay.

March of Dimes (MOD) is a nonprofit service organization dedicated to preventing premature births and raising awareness of prematurity. Currently, 1 in 8 babies born in the U.S. are born too soon. Key Club International began working with March of Dimes in the 1960s by holding dances, car washes, and bake sales to raise funds for medical research into birth defects. Key Club Members have collected dimes for this organization in hopes that one day children would be born free of birth defects. In last year (2009-10) alone, Key Club raised $100,000 for March of Dimes.

Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) is a nonprofit organization that raises money to benefit hospitalized kids while increasing awareness of its member hospitals. 100% of CMN contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase new equipment, train hospital staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs, and provide health care for children whose parents can’t afford to pay. CMN has over 170 affiliated hospitals. In 2009-10, Key Club raised nearly $1.8 million for Children’s Miracle Network and their affiliated hospitals. Key Club International supports CMN by sponsoring fundraisers and planning service projects in CMN hospitals. You can help in the following ways:

• Provide toys and dolls for kids going through trauma. • Contribute to or create video, toy, or book lending libraries or playrooms. • Help staff information booths or surgery waiting rooms. • Assist families with children who require long-term care or who live great distances from hospitals. • Support safety campaigns or parent education programs. • Purchase specific pieces of equipment. • Volunteer at your local community broadcast. The annual broadcast will air nation-wide in early June, inspiring millions of people with the

heartwarming stories of children who have triumphed over diseases and injuries of all kinds.

Our current International Service Initiative Live 2 Learn is a 2 year project that focuses on helping children, ages 5-9, to overcome learning obstacles and become successful to give back their home, school, and community. There are 3 focuses for Live 2 Learn: 1) Improving Grades focuses on mentoring, tutoring, and developing reading improvement programs will address major concerns in all communities. Take 60 minutes out of your day to read to a child and develop their social skills, give them a mentor to look up to who truly cares about them.2) Giving Back focuses on Key Clubbers working with primary schools to coordinate service projects for young students to participate in with their school. Key Clubbers mentor these students and teach them to be lifelong service leaders.3) Growing together involves stimulating the imagination and learning of young students through participating in making creating crafts and drama. By stimulating children’s imagination and learning, Key Club Members spark growth and personal development in children.

Although our current MEP was scheduled to expire in 2010, it has been indefinitely extended by the Key Club International Board for the 2010-11 year. The next service initiative will be based on the current Kiwanis Service Initiative: ELIMINATE (please click here or visit http://sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/Alumni/CKI-Alumni/eliminate.aspx for details).

What is YOF? Youth Opportunities Fund is an international grant to help Key Clubs fund service projects they would like to do. The grant is funded by a portion Key Clubbers’ dues and the purchase of G. Harold Martin Fellowships. Clubs can request any amount of money to support their service project between $100 and $2,000. Typically, clubs need to raise funds in order to qualify for this grant, and only request funding for a portion of their service project and not the whole thing and work with other organizations to fund and complete the project. The deadline for YOF grant applications to be submitted to the Kiwanis International Office (address: 3636 Woodview Trace, Indianapolis, IN 46268-3196) is October 15th, 2010. Clubs will receive notice of whether they receive the YOF grant by January 15th, 2011.

To receive your YOF grant application, please click here or visit http://bit.ly/YOFformBefore you apply for the grant, have a timeline of the steps involved in your service project and a detailed budget with all costs, sources of revenue, and expenditures. The explanation you must include about the problem in the community that your project addresses in your application for the grant should be thorough, since the people you are requesting the grant from are not familiar with your project. Please make sure you emphasize the benefits of your project to the community. Our California-Nevada-Hawaii District encourages members to utilize this wonderful grant to provide greater service to your communities. Please contact your local lieutenant governor if you have any questions or concerns.

District Convention 2010Compiled by Andrew Shin, District Technology Editor

From April 9 to April 11, over 2800 Key Clubbers entered the Sacramento Convention Center in hopes of learning new things at the workshops, voting for their new District Board, and showing their spirit as enthusiastic as possible. Side effects of going to District Convention included losing your voice, meeting new people all over California, Nevada, and Hawaii, and having the best time of your life. This event only comes around once a year in CNH Key Club and is something that can’t be missed! District Convention was kicked off with some workshops and the first general session with keynote speaker, Keith Hawkins, who brought inspiration in the eyes of every Key Clubber with “buttlock” and “Go Human.” After the general session, Key Clubbers were introduced to the District Board candidates at the Meet and Greet and were informed of service projects available to Key Clubbers at the Service Expo. On Saturday, a fresh new day began jam-packed with workshops, caucus sessions, House of Delegates, two general sessions, and a dance. Workshops ranged from service projects information to public speaking to maintaining large clubs and so much more! Caucus session is the time where Key Clubbers can fully understand the candidates’ intents for the next year by listening to their speeches and asking questions to quiz them about their knowledge of Key Club, their goals to CNH Key Club, etc. House of Delegates was where 665 delegates were packed into one room to vote for their next District Board. Pick up lines were also thrown in to entertain the delegates. The first general session included more information about service events and the second general session was when the hearts of all the candidates pounded madly. Election results were announced at this general session. The following is the 2010-11 District Executive Board for Cali-Nev-Ha Key Club.

International Convention 2010Compiled by Andrew Shin, District Technology Editor

Hola! Que Pasa! The Bees are in the Casa! (Repeat x1,000) International Convention is truly an amazing experience. The only thing negative about International Convention is that it comes once a year. Caucusing, touring Memphis, cheering your head off at the general sessions, visiting workshops, and losing your voice are just some of the features of ICON. But, words can not describe how incredible International Convention is. I strongly encourage everyone to go to International Convention 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. The variety of people at International Convention is truly what makes ICON the best. People from all over the world coming together to learn new things to bring back to their district, to vote for the new Key Club International Board, and ultimately, to have fun is really what ICON is all about. Plus, you can see how much CNH dominates in Key Club International in spirit! If the spirit stick was still around, we would have owned it for all three sessions. Lastly, below is our newly elected Key Club International Board and pictures of our MIGHTY CNH BEES! I thank everyone for attending and I hope you all had a memorable International Convention!
